Surgeon General Dr. Vivek Murthy says that the Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) final approval of the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine will likely result in more businesses and universities initiating vaccine mandates.
“The full approval of the Pfizer vaccine ... is important for a couple of reasons, ... number one, there were some people who may have been waiting for this and who may come off of the fence, so to speak, to get vaccinated. So it may help to increase vaccination rates to some extent, but I also think that there are universities and businesses that have been considering putting in vaccine requirements in order to create a safer workplace or learning environment,” Murthy told Fox News on Aug. 22.
